Abstract
A pipe fitting is disclosed that can be configured for engagement with a coupling. The coupling can include a first ridge and a second ridge opposite the first ridge, and can define a coupling bore extending from the first ridge to the second ridge. A cap can extend into the coupling bore of the coupling. A gasket can be positioned within the coupling and can include: a first sealing ridge disposed proximate the first ridge; a second sealing ridge disposed proximate the second ridge opposite the first ridge; and a central ridge defining a pair of ribs extending radially inward from the central ridge.
